Abstract

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: In this pilot case-control study, the metabolome was quantified in subjects with previously measured serum and clinical biomarkers. The serum metabolome was then integrated with existing serum and clinical biomarkers of WTC-exposed firefighters to identify pathways significant to loss of lung function following acute PM-exposure. This robust subset of metabolite and serum biomarkers may be clinically relevant to predicting progression to lung disease in a larger cohort. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Serum drawn within 6 months of 9/11 was analyzed in this pilot. Clinical measures were obtained from electronic medical records. Never-smoking, male, WTC-exposed firefighters with normal pre-9/11 lung function were segregated based on FEV1 percent predicted (FEV1 %Pred) at symptomatic presentation. Cases of WTC-LI (FEV1 %Pred
